Chiefs ponder not using Harrison Butker on kickoffs, citing rule changes
New York TimesKansas City Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub likely raised some eyebrows Thursday when he mentioned how the team might not use kicker Harrison Butker for kickoff duties thanks to the new rules. During Thursday’s organized team activities session, safety Justin Reid and running back Louis Rees-Zammit — a former rugby player — executed kickoffs in place of Butker. Butker also addressed gender ideologies and said a woman’s most important title is “homemaker.” The Chiefs kicker said last week he doesn’t have any regrets about his commencement address saying in his first public comments since the speech that he received “a shocking level of hate” but also support for his views. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes said he didn’t agree with all of Butker’s speech comments, but the kicker is ‘a good person.’ Tight end Travis Kelce said, “I don’t think that I should judge him by his views.” Required reading
